Description

Pineapple Guava (Acca sellowiana, formerly Feijoa sellowiana) is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its delicious tropical-flavored fruit, ornamental flowers, and attractive foliage. Its oval leaves are dark green above and silvery-white beneath, creating beautiful year-round contrast. In late spring to early summer, edible flowers display fleshy white-and-purple petals and striking red stamens. Aromatic green fruits ripen in fall, offering a sweet flavor reminiscent of pineapple, strawberry, and guava. Ideal for edible landscapes, privacy hedges, and patio trees, this hardy plant also attracts birds and pollinators.

Faqs

Q: What does Pineapple Guava fruit taste like?

A: The fragrant, juicy flesh has a sweet, tropical flavor often compared to pineapple, strawberry, and guava. Fruits typically ripen in fall and may drop naturally when ready to harvest.

Q: Does Pineapple Guava need another plant to produce fruit?

A: Some plants are self-fertile, but fruit set varies among cultivars and seedlings. Growing a genetically different, compatible Pineapple Guava nearby generally improves pollination and increases fruit production.

Q: Can Pineapple Guava be grown as a hedge or patio tree?

A: Yes. Its naturally dense evergreen growth makes it excellent for privacy hedges, while selective pruning can create an attractive single-trunk or multi-trunk patio tree. Avoid excessive pruning if fruit production is a priority.
